Windows does not fit on the screen perfectly

Hi, a setting on my computer was recently changed (from my adolescence, I guess!) and the Windows I have open is more perfectly on my screen and I have to manually change the size of each of them.  Even at the login screen where it shows the user accounts, they are more in the middle of the screen but to the right.  Can you please tell me how to get back so that everything is perfectly centered on my screen.  Thank you

If a desktop computer with a monitor, check the monitor for an Auto reset button.

If not, try this:

Restore point:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the above does not fix it:

Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

Then:

Change the screen resolution

Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

See you soon.

    Hello DavidDandrea,

    I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience, but I'll definitely be able to help with this issue.
    The problem is simply that you do not have the 'screen Resolution' applied 'optimal '.

    To resolve this problem simply right-click anywhere on the desktop and select 'Screen Resolution' at the bottom of the drop-down list

    Now simply adjust the resolution up and down, and you will have your laptop to normal in no time at all! (The higher the number Ex: 1366 x 768 higher the resolution of the screen)

    I hope that I could help you with this problem today and if the problem persists, you have other questions or problems please answer as I would be more then happy to help you in any way possible.
    Thanks for your time, I hope this has helped.

  • DVD drive does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.

    I lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.
    It starts with a disc inserted, but stops after about 20 seconds without opening all files.
    The DVD comes on when it starts first and then turns off after a few seconds.
    I have re-installed the driver of Toshiba and still no access.

    I think it all started when I installed a new WD 1 TB external hard drive which its virtual CD drive on the E: drive, which was used by the installation DVD player. I moved the external hard drive G: and drive E: letter has left vacant, but still does not work.

    Any ideas how I can fix this problem? It would be greatly appreciated.

    Optical disc drive is listed correctly in the Device Manager?

  • Satellite Pro L300-21F does not start and the screen remains blank

    L300-21F is aged 18 months, so out of warranty. When you press the power button, you can hear the fan and a "click" but the hard drive does not start and the screen remains blank. The power and the battery on the headlight LEDs, but the switch light does not work. I checked the power supply and it is 19.3V and substituted a good known. Removed the battery, tried with just the power cord and still nothing. Pressing ESC or F2 when you press the button power does not bring to the top of the screen of the bios or any other message.

    Hello

    > 1. He's probably right?

    Yes, it looks like motherboard failure

    > 2. Is this a common problem with an easy solution?

    If it's a motherboard problem, the whole motherboard is replaced. Quite expensive part...

    > 3. What else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?

    I don't think you can do anything with fried mobo

    > 4. Is there a link where I can find how to disassemble the case?

  • My pc says that windows does not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM.

    My pc says that windows does not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM. It is said it can be repaired by using the original installation CD, but we do not have. Any ideas please?

    The file is missing or corrupt is one of your files in the system registry.

    By far, the best way to recover from this is to go to another computer and create a free Hirens Boot CD.
    Download Hirens: <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ > (link at the bottom of the icon of the disk)
    Hirens CD burning <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/burning/ >

    Once you create the CD, and then start your system of problem with this CD.  In the first window, select "Mini Windows XP" and wait for the system to start.  When it starts, go to the Hirens Boot CD menu and select
    Register-> Registry Restore Wizard.
    then follow the prompts.  This wizard will return a copy of your registry database from backups that are stored with your system restore points.  After the restoration, stop, remove the CD and restart.

    When you start your system, it is recommended to perform a system restore operation to ensure the consistency of your system
    "How to restore Windows XP to a previous state"
       <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306084 >

    Also, this error is almost always accompanied, if not caused, the corruption of the file system.  Also a good idea to perform a check disk (chkdsk) operation with the option "repair".
    "How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
       <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

    The hard way to get back is covered in the following Microsoft KB article, but if you have installed a large number of service packs for your installation of XP, I don't give you many chances to get past part 1. (And there's also an installation CD to access the Recovery Console)
